Abstract

A power transmission system of a vehicle may include a first input shaft selectively connected to an engine, a second input shaft as a hollow shaft, enclosing the first input shaft without rotational interference with the first input shaft, and selectively connected to the engine, a speed change portion including first and second planetary gear sets, each planetary gear set including three rotation elements, and four rotation shafts directly connected to at least one rotation element among the rotation elements of the first and second planetary gear sets, a motor/generator, an output shaft, and control elements including two clutches disposed at positions where the first and second input shafts are selectively connected to an output shaft of the engine, and two brakes disposed at positions where two rotation shafts among the four rotation shafts are selectively connected to a transmission housing.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A power transmission system of a vehicle, the power transmission system comprising:
a first input shaft selectively connected to an engine;
a second input shaft as a hollow shaft, enclosing the first input shaft without rotational interference with the first input shaft, and selectively connected to the engine;
an output shaft outputting torque;
a first planetary gear set including first, second, and third rotation elements;
a second planetary gear set including fourth, fifth, and sixth rotation elements;
a first rotation shaft fixedly connected to the first rotation element;
a second rotation shaft fixedly connected to the second rotation element and fixedly connected to the sixth rotation element;
a third rotation shaft fixedly connected to the third rotation element, fixedly connected to the fifth rotation element, and fixedly connected to the output shaft;
a fourth rotation shaft fixedly connected to the fourth rotation element; and
a first motor/generator fixedly connected to the first rotation shaft or the second rotation shaft;
wherein the first planetary gear set is a single pinion planetary gear set, wherein a first sun gear is the first rotation element, a first planet carrier is the second rotation element, and a first ring gear is the third rotation element,
wherein the second planetary gear set is a single pinion planetary gear set, wherein a second sun gear is the fourth rotation element, a second planet carrier is the fifth rotation element, and a second ring gear is the sixth rotation element,
wherein the fourth rotation shaft is fixedly connected to the second input shaft,
wherein the second rotation shaft is fixedly connected to the first input shaft, is selectively connected to a transmission housing, and is fixedly connected to the first motor/generator, and
wherein the first rotation shaft is selectively connected to the transmission housing.

2. The power transmission system of claim 1 , further comprising:
a first clutch disposed between an engine output shaft and the second input shaft;
a second clutch disposed between the engine output shaft and the first input shaft;
a first brake disposed between the first rotation shaft and the transmission housing; and
a second brake disposed between the second rotation shaft and the transmission housing.

3. The power transmission system of claim 1 , further comprising a second motor/generator fixedly connected to the first rotation shaft.

4. A power transmission system of a vehicle, the power transmission system comprising:
an engine output shaft transmitting torque of an engine;
an output shaft outputting torque;
a first planetary gear set including first, second, and third rotation elements;
a second planetary gear set including fourth, fifth, and sixth rotation elements;
a first rotation shaft fixedly connected to the first rotation element and selectively connected to a transmission housing;
a second rotation shaft fixedly connected to the second rotation element, fixedly connected to the sixth rotation element, selectively connected to the transmission housing, selectively connected to the engine output shaft, and fixedly connected to a first motor/generator;
a third rotation shaft fixedly connected to the third rotation element, fixedly connected to the fifth rotation element, and fixedly connected to the output shaft; and
a fourth rotation shaft fixedly connected to the fourth rotation element and selectively connected to the engine output shaft,
wherein the first planetary gear set is a single pinion planetary gear set, wherein a first sun gear is the first rotation element, a first planet carrier is the second rotation element, and a first ring gear is the third rotation element, and
wherein the second planetary gear set is a single pinion planetary gear set, wherein a second sun gear is the fourth rotation element, a second planet carrier is the fifth rotation element, and a second ring gear is the sixth rotation element.

5. The power transmission system of claim 4 , further comprising:
a first clutch selectively connecting the engine output shaft to the fourth rotation shaft;
a second clutch selectively connecting the engine output shaft to the second rotation shaft;
a first brake selectively connecting the first rotation shaft to the transmission housing; and
a second brake selectively connecting the second rotation shaft to the transmission housing.

6. The power transmission system of claim 4 , further comprising a second motor/generator fixedly connected to the first rotation shaft.
